ABOUT THE BOOK:

Five years ago, when Sydney Campbell came through Marietta on her way to the big Grey family Christmas, she ran into newcomer Jackson Flint in Grey’s Saloon. Directly into him.

In Montana to build some bridges with his older, billionaire half-brothers, Jackson didn’t plan to stay. Sydney was just visiting family from her high-stakes life in D.C. For one night they lit each other on fire, kissed goodbye, and never thought they’d see the other again.

But Jackson built more than bridges and put down roots. And just about every holiday, he’s watched Sydney turn up in town. The fire that always blazes between them gets hotter every visit, but this time is different. This fall, Sydney decides to stay a while. With the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo taking Marietta by storm, Jackson knows this is the chance he’s been waiting for.

And he means to take it—if he can convince the only woman he’s ever wanted that there’s more freedom in loving him than letting go.

MY REVIEW:

Tempt Me Please, Cowboy (The 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo Book 2) by Megan Crane

First time reading this author and I am familiar with the locale and the town, enjoyable read.

This book starts with acknowledgements and then the story.

Starts with Sydney as the bartender at her family’s saloon: Grey's, just starting there.

She was a data analyst in the DC area and usually only came back to Marietta for a quick trip for a holiday or wedding. Handed a 'mandatory don't return to work til the next new year with pay' she heads back home. There is so much that troubles her there. Her grandparents raised them and there's always been talk that she's cursed like others in the family. It haunts her.

Story also follows Jackson who was once a football player but then returned to Marietta for a different career. We learn about them both, how and where they were raised and all their relatives. Like how he wants to really get to know her besides the sex parts. Love the new words I've learned, more about the rodeo and events that take place in town and what makes them tick and about the nature scenes.

Never see them together as a couple, they have so much to work through. Adult situations.

Story ends with other books in the anthology and an except from book 3 in this series.

A KEEPER!
